About this Item
First impression of the first UK edition. most copies of which were recalled by the publisher and pulped, due to the author's final corrections having been missed. ***A near fine unread copy in the publisher's grey boards, with titles in black. No bumps. Corners sharp. Boards clean and unmarked. No inscriptions. *** In a near fine printed dustwrapper, not price-clipped, showing the original publisher's printed price of £20. No wear. No tears. No creasing. ***"FREEDOM comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of too much liberty: the thrills of teenage lust; the shaken compromises of middle age; the wages of suburban sprawl; the heavy weight of empire." [Quote taken from the front cover blurb] ***This is a near fine copy of the true first printing of the first UK edition, most copies of which were recalled by the publisher and pulped, due to the author's final corrections having been missed. *** For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging - this book is fairly large and heavy and will cost more than the average shipping price quoted on ABE: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 1511x
